[thank you to Linda Stufflebean for suggesting this topic!]
Here's mine:
The earliest ancestor in my maternal family tree in the RootsMagic program is Ranulf FitzRalf (bef.1295-aft.1343). Here is my ascent from my 19th great-grandfather in my maternal line from WikiTree. The line in WikiTree is the same as my line in RootsMagic.
1. Randy is the son of Betty Virginia (Carringer) Seaver (1919-2002) [confident]
2. Betty is the daughter of Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer (1899-1977) [confident]
3. Emily is the daughter of Charles Auble (1849-1916) [confident]
4. Charles is the son of Sarah G. (Knapp) Auble (abt.1818-1904) [confident]
5. Sarah is the daughter of Sarah (Cutter) Knapp (1785-1878) [confident]
6. Sarah is the daughter of Tabitha (Fitz Randolph) Cutter (abt.1753-1841) [confident]
7. Tabitha is the daughter of Samuel Fitz Randolph (abt.1730-) [confident]
8. Samuel is the son of Jacob Fitz Randolph (1708-bef.1779) [unknown confidence]
9. Jacob is the son of Samuel Fitz Randolph (1668-1754) [unknown confidence]
10. Samuel is the son of Nathaniel Fitz Randolph (1642-1713) [confident]
11. Nathaniel is the son of Edward Fitz Randolph Jr. (abt.1607-abt.1684) [confident]
12. Edward is the son of Edward (Fitzrandolph) Fitz Randolph (abt.1565-1647) [confident]
13. Edward is the son of Christopher (FitzRandolph) Fitz Randolph (abt.1530-1588) [confident]
14. Christopher is the son of Christopher (FitzRandolph) Fitz Randolph (abt.1495-abt.1574) [confident]
15. Christopher is the son of John (Fitzrandolph) Fitz Randolph (abt.1455-abt.1514) [confident]
16. John is the son of John (Fitzrandolph) Fitz Randolph (abt.1420-1475) [confident]
17. John is the son of Ralph FitzRandall Knt. (abt.1398-1458) [confident]
18. Ralph is the son of John FitzRandall Knt. (abt.1374-1405) [unknown confidence]
19. John is the son of Ranulf FitzJohn (1345-aft.1388) [unknown confidence]
20. Ranulf is the son of John FitzRanulf (abt.1325-bef.1369) [unknown confidence]
21. John is the son of Ranulf FitzRalf (bef.1295-aft.1343) [unknown confidence]
This makes Ranulf FitzRalf the 19th great grandfather of Randy.
A source for the Fitz Randolph line back to Ranulf FitzRalf is shown in:
Frederick Lewis Weis at al, The Magna Charta Sureties, 1215; the Barons Named In the Magna Charta, 1215, and Some of Their Descendants Who Settled in America, 1607-1650 (Baltimore, Md. (Genealogical Pub. Co., 1999)
If the book is correct, I may be able to connect my mother to English Royalty further back in time. There are other books with this information which I don't have access to at this time.
Because I did this, I figured out that my great-grandparents, Charles Auble (1849-1916) and Georgianna Kemp (1868-1952) were cousins - they shared Edward FitzRandolph (1607-1684) as their ancestor - they were 8th cousins 1x removed (I think). Who knew? I never suspected that, but they both had New Jersey roots in the 1600s.
